    (#22) - “Sharing a Roof, a Wi-Fi Password, and Way Too Much Time Together” - with Papi

    What happens when your marriage, your office, your kitchen, and your sanity all exist in the same square footage? Melis' husband, Shannon (aka Papi), is back on the pod — and they’re getting hilariously honest about what it’s really like to work from home… together. From dining-room Zoom calls to deli-meat crime scenes, they unpack the highs, the lows, and the “please pretend I’m not here from 9 to 2” moments that come with sharing space 24/7. This episode doesn’t pretend to fix it all — but it normalizes the mess and gives listeners tools and perspective to feel less alone in the chaos. 💡 In This Episode: The kitchen is not a conference room Tips for setting boundaries without setting the house on fire Why needing alone time isn’t personal (even if it feels that way) The power of therapy, meat snacks, and the occasional car call 🎧 Listen now, laugh with us, and share it with your favorite frazzled couple. And if you’re loving Now What?!, leave us a 5-star review! (Anything less? Keep it moving. We’re Uber driver rules around here. 😘) Until next time, Hoops and Glossers — stay sane, set those boundaries, and remember: it’s okay to need space (even from the one you love). 💛 xoxo melis 🌎 Check out how we can work together → https://motivatewithmelis.com/   📸 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/motivatewithmelis/ 🖥️ Let’s get connected on Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/motivatewithmelis/ 📱 Follow me on Tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@motivatewithmelis

    Welcome back, Hoops and Glossers! Buckle up because today’s episode is packed with inspiration, motivation, and a few moments that will make you want to rethink everything you know about fitness, nutrition, and mindset. Our guest? None other than the powerhouse that is Jodi Echakowitz– CEO, mom of two, PR queen, autism and mental health advocate, AND a total badass in the gym. Oh, and did we mention she’s my teammate? Get ready to fall in love with her story (and her jaw-dropping transformation). Here’s What’s Coming At Ya: ✅ The Wonder Women coaching group – what it is and why it changed Jodi’s life ✅ From two-liter-a-day Coke habits to building the discipline of an athlete ✅ How one offhand comment from her mother created a cycle of self-sabotage – and how she finally broke free ✅ The unexpected decision to compete in a bodybuilding competition – and what that process really looks like ✅ And finally… the upcoming plastic surgery journey – why Jodi is making this decision after all the hard work What’s Next? Jodi’s next chapter involves a little “nip and tuck” (okay, a full tummy tuck and breast lift) as she fully steps into the next phase of her transformation. And as for me? I’m knee-deep in my own bodybuilding prep and freaking out just a tiny bit. Will Jodi be in Vegas or Mexico cheering us on? Time will tell! 🔥 Follow Jodi’s Journey on Instagram: @jodi.echakowitz 🔥 Follow our fearless coach Michelle MacDonald: @michellemacdonaldofficial                                   🔥 Follow our Wonder Women Team: @thewonderwomenofficial 👊 If this episode fired you up, inspired you, or just made you rethink how you approach your own health journey, hit that subscribe button and leave a review!
